Surprised the thread is so dead today, especially with the good deals at best buy. Picked up a bunch of BDs, haul photo coming up after I grab dinner.

Also got into a 'verbal altercation' with a target rep who said the word 'policy' one too many times. Target will hold a product for 24 hours. I asked for them to hold a few BDs for me come Tuesday and was told no. I stated the reason was so they didn't crush the slips, particularly Water for Elephants and its bigger slip. The rep kept stating it's policy to put BDs in cases, which is why I rebutted that was the point in holding the movies for me.

The guy said policy one more time and that was enough for me. I talked away to the Disney section and saw the Lion King BD + DVD absolutely crushed in a case and the DVD + BD sitting next to it all mint. Took them back to the rep and said isn't it POLICY to put all BDs in cases. He stated the DVDs don't fit in cases (bullshit since games have cases), that he's 'sorry' and can't help me due to company policy.

i wish it was customer "policy" not to buy in these stores anymore and that
all these corporations who have no clue what customer service is would
go bankrupt!

I'm not. It's been losing steam for quite some time. If the off-topic posts were deleted, it would be only a page a day, except for Tuesdays (and the occasional Friday, like this coming one).

Vote with your wallet, Loverboy. I read that somewhere on the internets...

I'm not so sure that BD sales are Target's main concern. Whatever BDs Target doesn't sell, they send them back to the manufacturer for a credit toward future BD releases. It really doesn't cost them much one way or the other if you boycott them due to their use of the dreaded plastic coffins.

Aha... I see. How man miles further is the next Target from where you live?

TLK

Don't get me started. Too late.

The next furthest target is 25mi away, $8 in gas round trip. It's also the one that started it all, throws out slips every Tuesday morning. They were the reason I've complained to corporate multiple times and started the large thread in the deals forum last year.

I can't even find Waiting for Elephants on their website but I will be ordering the limited HP from the site this time around.

Shin, I was in WB Target today and noticed that they didn't put some of the new Pixar shorts rereleases in cases. They must be slipping on policy. I'm actually quite proud of myself because I have not purchased anything BD related from Target since they changed it all up.

Were you stalking me?

I ended up getting five BDs today, four with slips, two slips are just beautiful.

Sunday haul. Didn't pick up everything I wanted, for some reason Life is Beautiful is missing the Wimo sticker at my best buy, so I'll have to wait for it. Also debating on 40 Days and 40 Nights. Horrid A/V reviews here, though besides LiB and The Conspirator (which doesn't exist), I'll own every current Miramax/Lionsgate release to date.

Spectacular slips:

Also had to throw this in here. Was looking for something in my attic yesterday and happened upon these. I loved Space Jam as a kid and completely forgot I had this. I even have the soundtrack somewhere too...

All solo tonight sir. Did you pick up anything today, particular with SLIPCOVERS? I'm actually excited for The Devil's Double. Lionsgate has done well in the past with them, I'm hoping it's actually a shiny gold and embossed slip.
